Re: odbc driver version question for PostgreSQL 8.3.

The backwards compatible answer makes me feel good since the 8.3 version
of the drivers don't specify 64 bit compatibility. We'll package the
latest for deployment to our users - for use on their win xp desktops.

Thanks Adrian!

As far as I know the ODBC drivers are backwards compatible. The question
is
where you intend to load the driver? If you want it on Solaris the *.zip
versions will not work as they represent MSI packages for use in Windows.
You
will need to get the tarballs located in the src directory here:

http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/src/

When you untar them there will be a docs/ with a unix-compilation.html
file to
help with building.
